Another plant in Zatec, Czech Republic began operation in 2019. Nexen has built its brand in Europe with high-profile sponsorships, including its role as official tyre of Manchester City. Porsche’s decision to approve the Nexen Nfera RU1 as original equipment on the Cayenne and Macan also added prestige to the brand, and it has continued to pick up original equipment supply deals with leading car manufacturers around the world.
